About Amanus

Hello. I am just looking for a little advice. A year ago my sister was diagnosed with thyroid cancer which resulted in surgery (thyroid fully removed) with radiotherapy follow up (radioactive isolation treatment). She has now been told that the cancer is in her neck glands and needs surgery to remove all the glands from her ear to her throat on a least one side (further test tomorrow to confirm extent). They have scheduled her operation for 10 days time and then she will have the repeat of the radioactive radiotherapy treatment. She is struggling to come to accept the news so it is difficult for us to find out how serious this is. Any advice greatly received. Many thanks Ammy xx
